CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0070265, filed on Jun. 10, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to antiaromatic compounds and organic light-emitting devices including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), which are self-emitting devices, have desired characteristics (such as wide viewing angles, excellent contrast, quick response, high brightness, or excellent driving voltage), and can provide multicolored images.

An organic light-emitting device may have a structure in which a first electrode, a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode are sequentially disposed in this order on a substrate. Holes injected from the first electrode move to the emission layer via the hole transport region, while electrons injected from the second electrode move to the emission layer via the electron transport region. Carriers such as the holes and electrons recombine in the emission layer to generate excitons. When the excitons drop from an excited state to a ground state, light is emitted.

In some embodiments, the antiaromatic compound of Formula 1 may be one selected from the following compounds 1 to 247. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto:

The antiaromatic compound represented by Formula 1 may have a nonplanar structure that is suitable for designing a structure in which a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level and a lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level do not overlap. In general, aromatic ring compounds have a perfect planar structure, and thus a substituent may cause less electrical change when formed into a thin film. However, antiaromatic compounds may undergo a large electrical change caused by a substituent when formed into a thin film due to the nonplanar structure thereof. In other words, a change in electrical characteristics of the antiaromatic compounds may be easily controllable with substituents. Due to the nonplanar structure, the antiaromatic compound represented by Formula 1 may have a lower crystallinity compared with aromatic ring compounds having a planar structure, and thus may be desired in terms of mass-production processibility. In general, highly crystalline compounds may cause unnecessary accumulation of materials or clogging of source during deposition processes.

Due to the ease of control of the electrical characteristics of the antiaromatic compound represented by Formula 1, an organic light-emitting device having a high efficiency and a high luminance may be implemented using (utilizing) the antiaromatic compound of Formula 1. In addition, due to the low crystallinity, the antiaromatic compound represented by Formula 1 may be desired in processibilty when used (utilized) to manufacture an organic light-emitting device.

Therefore, an organic light-emitting device using (utilizing) the antiaromatic compound represented by Formula 1 may have a low driving voltage, a high efficiency, and a high luminance.

The antiaromatic compound of Formula 1 may be synthesized using (utilizing) a suitable organic synthesis method. Methods of synthesizing the antiaromatic compound of Formula 1 may be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the examples that will be described below.

The antiaromatic compound of Formula 1 may be used (utilized) between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device. For example, the antiaromatic compound of Formula 1 may be in an electron transport region, for example, in an electron transport layer.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, an organic light-emitting device includes a first electrode, a second electrode disposed opposite to the first electrode, and an organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and including an emission layer, wherein the organic layer includes at least one of the antiaromatic compounds of Formula 1 described above.

As used herein, the expression “(the organic layer) includes at least one (or at least one of the) antiaromatic compound(s)” refers to the situation where “(the organic layer) includes one of the antiaromatic compounds of Formula 1, or at least two antiaromatic compounds of Formula 1.”

In some embodiments, the organic layer may include only Compound 1 as the antiaromatic compound. In this regard, Compound 1 may be present in the emission layer of the organic light-emitting device. In some embodiments, the organic layer may include Compounds 1 and 2 as the antiaromatic compounds. In this regard, Compounds 1 and 2 may be present both in the same layer (for example, in the emission layer) or may be present in different layers (for example, in the emission layer and the electron transport layer, respectively).

The organic layer may include i) a hole transport region disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer, and including at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a buffer layer, and an electron blocking layer; and ii) an electron transport region disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode, and including at least one of a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. The electron transport region may include the antiaromatic compound of Formula 1. For example, the electron transport region may include the electron transport layer, wherein the electron transport layer may include the antiaromatic compound of Formula 1.

As used herein, the term “organic layer” refers to a single layer and/or a plurality of layers disposed between the first and second electrodes of the organic light-emitting device. A material in the “organic layer” is not limited to an organic material.

Hereinafter, a structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure and a method of manufacturing the same will now be described with reference to FIG. 1.

FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, the organic light-emitting device 10 includes a first electrode 110, an organic layer 150, and a second electrode 190.

A substrate may be disposed under the first electrode 110 or on the second electrode 190 in FIG. 1. The substrate may be a glass or transparent plastic substrate with good mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and/or water resistance.

For example, the first electrode 110 may be formed by depositing or sputtering a first electrode-forming material on the substrate 11. When the first electrode 110 is an anode, a material having a high work function may be used (utilized) as the first electrode-forming material to facilitate hole injection. The first electrode 110 may be a reflective electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a transmissive electrode. Transparent and conductive materials (such as ITO, IZO, SnO₂, or ZnO) may be used (utilized) to form the first electrode. The first electrode 110 as a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflective electrode may be formed of at least one material selected from magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), and magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag).

The first electrode 110 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure including a plurality of layers. For example, the first electrode 110 may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but is not limited thereto.

A thickness of the hole transport region may be from about 100 Å to about 10000 Å, and in some embodiments, from about 100 Å to about 1000 Å. When the hole transport region includes an HIL and an HTL, a thickness of the HIL may be from about 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, and in some embodiments, from about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å; and a thickness of the HTL may be from about 50 Å to about 2,000 Å, and in some embodiments, from about 100 Å to about 1,500 Å.

Non-limiting examples of the p-dopant are quinone derivatives such as tetracyanoquinonedimethane (TCNQ), 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinonedimethane (F4-TCNQ), or the like; metal oxides such as tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide, or the like; and Compound HT-D1.

The hole transport region may further include at least one of a buffer layer and an EBL, in addition to the HIL and HTL described above. The buffer layer may compensate for an optical resonance distance of light according to a wavelength of the light emitted from the EML, and thus may improve the light-emission efficiency.

The EBL may reduce or block migration of electrons from the electron transport region into the EML.

The EML may be formed on the first electrode 110 or the hole transport region by using (utilizing) any of a variety of suitable methods, for example, by using (utilizing) vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition, inkjet printing, laser printing, laser induced thermal imaging (LITI), or the like.
